Chapter 1510: Not Acknowledging

Editor: Henyee Translations

Fifth Grandma Ding was incensed. “Second son! You—”

“Shut up!” Fifth Grandpa Ding scolded sternly, fixing a glare on Fifth Grandma Ding.

Fifth Grandma Ding was shocked and genuinely frightened. Her face turned cold, and she dared not utter a sound.

No matter how domineering she could be, when the old man was truly angered, she wouldn’t dare provoke him again.

Fifth Grandpa Ding felt a pang of heartbreak. “Second son, are you… are you really determined not to forgive Father and Mother? Are you truly so heartless?”

...
Ding Erzhu offered a bitter smile and closed his eyes. Gazing at Fifth Grandpa Ding without blinking, he replied with seriousness, “Let me ask you, if Ding Xiang hadn’t found success today, would you still insist on reconciling with us?”

Fifth Grandpa Ding was stunned, a subconscious thought surfacing in his mind: That shouldn’t be the case…

Swiftly regaining his composure, his face flushed. He forced himself to remain composed. “Of course, I must admit it. We’re family, after all. It’s just that this matter happened…”

Ding Erzhu smiled bitterly. “I’m not naive!”

Ding Dalang was anxious. “Second Brother, are you trying to drive me to despair? If you push me to despair, won’t you regret it?”

“That’s right! How can you be so heartless? Father and Mother raised you for so many years for nothing?”

Ding Erzhu’s heart grew even colder. “Since I can remember, have I done any less work at home? Has our family contributed any less? If I must apologize, I’ve let Ding Xiang and her mother down. I’ve never let anyone else down.”

“You!”

“That’s enough,” the Land Officer interrupted, preventing Fifth Grandpa Ding and his family from joining in. He spoke unhurriedly, “There’s no need for further words. Leaving with nothing is a reality. Ding Erzhu, what do you think?”

“I don’t have any opinions. Let’s leave it at that. It’s still the same.”

“You’re not going to admit it, are you?”

“True.”

“Second son, you—”

“Alright, Brother Ding, this is not a joke. Since it was decided at that time, it’s not up to your family to go back on their word now. This doesn’t make sense. From now on, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned again. You guys can live your own lives!”

“I’m telling you, Ding Xiang is the glory of our village. If anyone dares to defame her or her parents, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Fifth Grandpa Ding stared blankly at Ding Erzhu.

Ding Erzhu lowered his head, feeling a deep sense of sorrow.

What kinship? He shouldn’t be pondering it at all. Looking at his father’s gaze…

The Ding family was anxious, but they dared not speak rashly. All eyes turned nervously and expectantly toward Fifth Grandma Ding.

True to expectations, Fifth Grandma Ding did not disappoint. She gritted her teeth and said, “If second son is truly heartless, we have nothing to say. Just consider it raising an ingrate! But no matter what, I gave him my life. Without me, how could he exist? He received benefits, so it’s not too much for me to take a share, right?”

Zhou Chong responded coldly, “If you don’t understand what it means to leave with nothing, why don’t you ask him properly!”

“Benefits? Madam has already instructed that she won’t give you a single thread! What does Madam’s current situation have to do with you?”

Fifth Grandma Ding retorted angrily, “You’re just a servant. You have no right to speak!”

Zhou Chong shot back, “That’s what our Madam told us. If you don’t believe me, you can ask when our Madam comes back. Our Madam isn’t free now, but she will return to check in!”

The Land Officer and the others exchanged glances. Initially considering being peacemakers and encouraging Ding Erzhu to provide some financial assistance to Fifth Grandpa Ding’s family for resolution, they changed their minds after hearing Zhou Chong’s words.
